To sweet Wales praise for its women;

Lads and their hearts have not one theme

So dear, no dream so clinging;

There are no maidens in the land

Like the maiden band of Caermarthen....

Of modest looks and nimble feet,

They are just as fleet as the wind's wings;

Dearly and lovesomely each floats

Red petticoats out farther;

They dance it swiftly through the earth,
